What should we play tonight?
You've been asking the group chat for 20 minutes. Someone suggests Fortnite, someone else doesn't have it. Someone says Minecraft, but nobody knows if crossplay works between PC and PlayStation. You end up playing the same thing you always play.
How PickThe.Games solves this
Instead of going back and forth in the group chat, everyone opens the same link and swipes through games individually. Yes, no, maybe, or ban. Takes about 2 minutes each.
The app already knows what's on PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch. It tracks which games support crossplay between specific platform pairs. After everyone swipes, it ranks games by how well they match the group - factoring in votes, platform overlap, and crossplay support.
The answer just appears. No spreadsheets, no polls, no "so what does everyone think?"
Why groups get stuck picking a game
The platform problem
Someone suggests a game. Three messages later you discover two people can't play it because they're on the wrong platform. PickThe.Games checks platforms before you even see the game.
The crossplay confusion
Half the group thinks a game has crossplay, the other half isn't sure. We track crossplay between every platform pair so you don't have to Google it mid-argument.
The loudest voice wins
Usually one person picks and everyone else goes along with it. When everyone swipes independently, quiet people get equal say. If someone really hates a game, they ban it - no guilt trips.
The same game every time
Groups default to what they know because discovering new games takes effort. Swiping through a feed of games you haven't considered surfaces titles you'd never find in a group chat.
How it works
- 1.One person creates a board and picks which platforms the group plays on
- 2.Share the invite link - or use the Discord bot if your group lives there
- 3.Everyone swipes through games on their phone or computer (2-3 minutes)
- 4.Results show which games work for your specific group, ranked by compatibility
Frequently asked questions
How do I decide what game to play with friends?
Create a free board on PickThe.Games, invite your group, and everyone swipes through games. The app checks platforms and crossplay automatically, then shows what works for everyone.
What if my friends are on different platforms?
That's exactly what this is for. PickThe.Games tracks crossplay between every platform pair (PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch) and only surfaces games that actually work across your group's platforms.
How long does it take?
About 60 seconds to set up. Each person spends 2-3 minutes swiping. You'll have your answer faster than the argument would have taken.
Is it free?
Yes. No subscription, no premium tier, no "upgrade to see your results." We built it because we had the same problem.
